Unfortunate.
“For some reason”? Greed. That is the exact reason.
It really made the most sense for me. Essentially long term rent a car and when the term is up, either technology has progressed to where the features of a new model are vastly superior, so give it back to the dealership, or there is still limited supply (I’m in a small EV market in Canada) and tech is more or less the same, then I buy it out.
Seemed like a fairly significant reduction of risk in getting an EV and a win win either way.
Assassin’s Creed also came to mind for me as one of the first time I encountered this. Eagle Vision I believe it was called.
I’d say that was different from target indicators, though. I feel those were more because distant targets weren’t really visible because of the low resolution at the time, whereas Eagle Vision was more highlighting particular items of interest in the environment that were still otherwise visible.
